^{* Larry, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet will be unable to provide tea services to the Press Corps due to the moving of belongings in and out of Downing Street. There is a Wetherspoon pub based approximately 500M away which will provide a ‘takeaway’ tea service for those in desperate need. Alternatively Sophie Ridge can be cloned for a 6th time to assist in such duties (We know your game Sky News!).}

^{**For foreigners, please understand that this is a physical cabinet, which previously was the gateway to Narnia, before being captured by the British Empire.}
